Digital Color Workspace Pantone Studio Wins Bronze Cannes Lion Award for Taking Color Management and Inspiration Mobile

Following this award, app releases updates to enable more shareable, integrated color work and play

CARLSTADT, N.J., July 11, 2017 – Pantone, a wholly owned subsidiary of X-Rite, Incorporated, and provider of professional color standards and digital solutions under a universal language, today announces that PANTONE Studio has been awarded a Bronze Cannes Lion Award in the Digital Craft category. As part of the momentum for the company’s flagship digital design and color reference app, Pantone also announces app updates to more seamlessly harmonize Pantone color into design workflows for users all over the world.

Building on the app’s offering of greater convenience in capturing, testing and sharing Pantone color, app updates include:

  • Global access. PANTONE Studio is now available in nine additional languages: Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Korean, Simplified & Traditional Chinese.
  • More Pantone palette expressions. A beloved feature of the app, Studio users now have even more versatile options for sharing Pantone palettes with inspirational images.
  • New ways to share. Studio users can now directly upload designs created in the app to Tumblr and Pinterest accounts. A dedicated sharing link from Pantone Studio enables larger display of designs on desktop devices via any Internet browser.
  • Improved integration with Adobe design software. A more seamless integration with Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Photoshop software enables a direct navigation flow and access to more versatile file formats such as .ASE for their preferred tools.
  • PANTONE Color of the Year guide. In addition to the full library of Pantone color systems already available on the app, Studio offers a PANTONE Color of the Year 2017 color guide featuring the PANTONE Color of the Year 2017, PANTONE 15-0343 Greenery, and every other Color of the Year going back to the original in 2000.

Almost a year after the launch of PANTONE Studio in August 2016, these app updates commence a series of developments that will ultimately better integrate Studio into Pantone’s other digital solutions for design and production, which together will aim to vastly improve color management through digital tools created for contemporary design workflows.
